Myrna May Sparks (nee Raker), of Wayne, passed away on June 7th, 2018. Although born and raised in Scranton, Pennsylvania, she had decided to attend NYU where she met her husband Robert William Sparks. Together they moved to Wayne to create their legacy of their two children, Jonathan and Elizabeth.
Myrna established her own business entitled Bon Chien, which was a pet care service that originated from her deep affection towards animals. She always maintained a household of multiple dogs. This fondness rooted from a young age spent in her family’s country home, where she honed her excellent horse-riding skills. This time was spent with her siblings Barbara and Roy. Because of this, she made sure to acquire a country home of her own so that this love could always flourish.
Myrna was an avid traveler, later being accompanied by her second husband, Oscar Pelaez. Among many, her favorite destinations were Paris, Tuscany, Venice, and Santorini.
Myrna was a mother, grandmother and caretaker for all of her future generations. In being a good listener, she understood the needs of her family members and would always provide. Her generosity and compassion were constant and overflowing. She was a very thoughtful and kind woman who will be missed dearly.
Myrna is survived by her husband, Oscar Pelaez, her two children, Jonathan Sparks and his wife Sandra, and Elizabeth Holman, and her three grandchildren, Alexandra, Austin, and Rachel Holman.
